The White Guy Laments parts of his past

[Waterguy]

7. Great post about Frederic Douglas - Incredible human being

The US has a long way to go still.
We need economic policies that put all people first.
We need civics taught in all schools, as well as true history.
We need better gun laws, do away with automatic weapons, universal background checks,
and a gun registry for starters.
We need a progressive congress - in both houses.
Yes - that's imperative.
There was segregation in Michigan when I was a kid in the sixties.
Black folks came to Michigan from the South to fill factory jobs and then
found out they couldn't live wherever they wished.
It was fact was not hidden; the blatant racism was systemic.
The town where I lived was all white, 2 miles away it was mostly black.

Most my life it's been small steps forwards and then always a backlash.

Everybody does better when everybody does better, it must not be anything less.
Frederic Douglas was a great man!
Peace!
